1 will describe a ships davit' embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in a claim. 1

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a ships davitwith a crank connected with the operating screw thereof in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail view but-drawn to a larger scale of the crank and its connection and embodying my invention. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the device shown in Fig; 2 but in a plane at right angles thereto. Figs and 5 are cross sectional views taken on the lines %4 and 5-5 of 2.

Similar reference characters designate corresponding parts in all of the figures.

A type of ships davit to which my invention is applicable. and parts of which are shown in Fig. 1, is shown in U. S. Patents Nos. 1,123,132 and 1,245,? 52 granted to T. H. Martin, December 2 1, 1914, and November 6.1917 respectively, to which reference for further details of construction and operation may be had.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a suitable frame or support, 2 a boom or crane; 3 a truck or carrlage movable on the frame and on which the boom 2 is pivotallymounted; 4 an operating member, here shown as a screw for moving the truck 3 to and fro on the frame, and 5 a crank which is connected with the screw 4 as hereinafter described.

The socket is further 7 by the socket 6 may be employed if necessary to hold the end 11 in the recess 10 (see F-igs. 2 and The socket is also provlded with a recess 12, at right angles to the Te cess 10 in which the end 11 of the crank fits when the crank is not in use. The end 11 is made to occupy this recess by raising the crank in the socket (see dotted lines Fig. 2), turning the crank 90 degrees, and then lowering the end 11 into the recess 12 as shown in dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 2. In this position the crank-is out of the way but is still 7 connected with the screw, and .ready for use I by reverslng the operation ust descr1bed.
